More dancing.


Moorea the beautiful island opposite Tahiti is our current "home".There are quite a few boats here, and we have been busy.

We arrived Sunday afternoon just in time to see a fantastic dancing display by the Tahiti ballet company, it was hosted by the Bali hai hotel which is right by the side of the bay we are anchored. The hotel guests and the sailors saw a 2 hour show on the lawn, which was backed by swaying palm trees and rugged mountains, the whole thing was incredible.

There have been numerous boat parties and lots of eating & drinking we held one & had 12 people on board, we think that's record so far!

The day after a group of us hiked up to a lookout spot high above the bays , then hiked right over the other side of the island, it took all day, and  we had to hitch hike back, so  we split up in to smaller groups to achieve this, of course it became a huge game who could get back first!

Tomorrow, weather permitting Neil & I plan to cycle around the whole of the island

its 60 km so we better set off early!
